A view of a coast in which eight men abandon a cutter during a rough storm. The men are in the left foreground pulling a boat ashore and tending to one another. The cutter in the right middle ground tosses in the rough waves. Its rigging are loose and its sails are largely missing or torn into shreds. In the far left background, there is a lighthouse. The scene is in an oval within a rectangular border. The corners of the rectangle are filled in with a small grid pattern. This print is from a series of paintings after Kitchingman of a cutter from its construction until its wreck in a storm, which were then in the collection of Mr. Newton (Thomas Newton, Bishop of Bristol).
